When I saw your face and the tears as they fell down When I saw that old oak tree, the leaves they hit the ground When I first realized that life would have its end When I saw the tears fall down the day you lost your edge
I don't know what to say, cause I can't explain the reasons I can't explain the seasons And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray There's a number to our days, and that's all right with me Each one is a gift, and brings us such great things Like the crisp of the night, or a sparkling champagne sky For these I give my thanks, for these I wipe your eyes
I don't know what to say, cause I can't explain the reasons I can't explain the seasons And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray We live for this moment One day at a time We live for this moment
You'll know that it's right
I don't know what to say, cause I can't explain the reasons I can't explain the seasons And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray There's a number to our days
